Pandas: Search if substring contains key in dictionary, and return value

I have a dictionary (key, value) and a dataframe using pandas.



mydict = {'KULAR LUMPUR' : 'MY',
'SINGAPORE' : 'SG',
'HONG KONG' : 'HK',
'VIETNAM': 'VN'}


and a dataframe with column ['Address']



                              Address
0 234 JALAN ST KULAR LUMPUR MALAYSIA
1 123 BUILDING STREET SINGAPORE
2 67 CANNING VALE, HONG KONG


How do I search through the dataframe to get the value from the dictionary if substring is found in the key of the dictionary.



e.g.



                              Address Code
0 234 JALAN ST KULAR LUMPUR MALAYSIA MY
1 123 BUILDING STREET SINGAPORE SG
2 67 CANNING VALE, HONG KONG HK

  • format your dict and dataframes properly, so we can run it directly without adding all quotes and commas.

Use str.extract by regex with keys of dictionary with map:



df = pd.DataFrame({'Address': ['234 JALAN ST KULAR LUMPUR MALAYSIA', 
'123 BUILDING STREET SINGAPORE',
'67 CANNING VALE, HONG KONG']})

print (df)
Address
0 234 JALAN ST KULAR LUMPUR MALAYSIA
1 123 BUILDING STREET SINGAPORE
2 67 CANNING VALE, HONG KONG

mydict = {'KULAR LUMPUR' : 'MY',
'SINGAPORE' : 'SG',
'HONG KONG' : 'HK',
'VIETNAM': 'VN'}

pat = '|'.join(r"b{}b".format(x) for x in mydict.keys())
df['Code'] = df['Address'].str.extract('('+ pat + ')', expand=False).map(mydict)

print (df)
Address Code
0 234 JALAN ST KULAR LUMPUR MALAYSIA MY
1 123 BUILDING STREET SINGAPORE SG
2 67 CANNING VALE, HONG KONG HK


Explanation:



print (pat)
bKULAR LUMPURb|bSINGAPOREb|bHONG KONGb|bVIETNAMb


b are called word boundaries for match words between b
| are for regex OR

  • I have used.. and if it is KULARLUMPUR , without spacing - this answer works. However, if it is KULAR LUMPUR with spacing (2 words), the error will come up
